The Drift Of 1888

Is political problem Of general in
terest, but some of our foremost men,
thought they would be in the swim,
and who had the Presidential bee in
their bonnets have passed to the here
after. In view Of the uncertainty of
life, would it not be wiser to dip less
into the future and more wisely i'm
prove the present by attention to
health and the warding off Of disease?
The exposure to which our public men
and noted speakers are liable renders
them all easy prey to Bronchial troub-
lie. Asthma, Consumption, Pneumonia.
The finest physique, the most vigor-
Gus manhood, are shining marks to-
ward which Death shafts are aimed.
To make a strong fight for life use
Gooch's Mexican Syrup, which is an
infallible cure for the above named
diseases and all kindred affections.
Consumption is the great scourge
of the American nation; It's victims
amount to twenty five percent of the
entire mortality. 1t may be either
hereditary, the result of constitution
al tendency, or neglected cold From
whatever cause it may have arisen, it
can be completely cured by the use of
Gooch's Mexican Syrup, specific
which has been uniformly successful
In the treatment of the disease And
why? Because Consumption is the
formation of tuberculons matter re-
sulting from Inflammation of the NIL
cuous mem branes, eating away the
lungs, exhausting vital force, and
reducing the system. Now if there is
medicine which will allay infamma-
ton, first sooth and then invigorate
the mucuous mem branes, repair the
waste and nourish the hody, it viii
effect a cure in the only natural anC
proper way, and this is precisely the
action of Gooch's Mexuan Syrup.
From thousands of certificates now
on file at our Office we select The fol.

genuine praise we receive daily:

We take the following from the Ports
mouth Daily Blade of last Saturday, in
reference to the commemoration of the
improvement of the Ohio Canal at that
place, which was celebrated there on Fri
day, November 18th:
'At this juncture Major John W. Over
turf was made Secretary of the meeting
and read kilograms and letters of regret
from Governor Foraker and number of
gentlemen who had been invited and were
unable to be present.
From the list we have selected the fol-
lowing letter for publication:
JACKSON, O., Nov. II, 1887.
Hon. NJ. B. Wells. President Board Of Trade, ,,o
DEAR SIR:-I am in receipt of your
kind invitation to be present at the in
spection of canal improvements at Ports
mouth, Ohio, Nov. 18th. Whilst / regret
very much that previous arrangement
will prevent my being with you on that
pleasurable occasion, assure you, and all
of the friends of the public Waterways of
this great State, that L am most heartily
in accord with every move to maintain
the existence of property so valuable to
our commonwealth, and as that portion
of the Ohio System that WendS its way
through the beautiful Scioto Valley can
be kept alive only by keeping its mouth
CteUU db ltS JuLCblUu WILL GHO OuIO 1elNCl,
at your beautiful and f1ourishing city on
the banks of the raging canal, and would
suggest three roatsifag cheers for the Hon.
Dan j. Ryan on that occasion, for his un-
firing efforts for the last two years in
securing the necessary appropriation
through which you have accomplished so
much good for the general public. May
his voice yet be heard in defence of the
canals in his cleaf, logical reasoning why
they should be maintained. Hoping that
this occasion may be the means of stimu
lating new growth in the desires of the
friends to public waterways that they
may go forth strong in the determination
that they shall not be abandoned. With
my best wishes for your success on this
occasion, 1 am very truly Sc. a friend to
the canals, B. F. KITCHEN"
Further along, in the same article, the
Blade has the following:
"President Wells, of the Board of Trade,
in accordance with.a suggestion made by
Representative Kitchen, proposed vote
of thanks to Hon. Dan j. Ryan for his in
defatigable efforts in favor of the proper
maintenance of the public works during
his term as Representative. This was
given with will, and followed by three
cheers heartily rendered"

Faithful! !!

Thou mighty shield, look 10 thee
When sorrows thickly fall
With cares of earth Overwhelming me,
My God, on thee 1 call.
Thou hearst the feeble, earnest pray'r-
Thy answer, freely given,
Drives out the shadows of despair,
And lifts the soul to Heaven.
The depths of thy abounding love
No mortal eye may see,
Its wondrous hight-far, far above,
Our Father, tell it me;
Above the life of errinG man
Why shines the rainbow bright
Beyond earth's toiling, troublous span,
Why CLEANS a holy light?
IT'S not for feeble deed3 of mine
Wrought out with trembling fear
gladly own the Power Divine,
In beauty drawing near;
IT'S of thy mercy l will sing,
E'en with my latest breath
Thy tender judgments that can bring
The triumph over death.
What is weak man that thou shouidst heed
His helpless, wailing cry?
Why feel, in every time of need,
Thy spirit, passing by?
Above a lost and ruined race
Thy glory sweetly rolls,
Thou send'st thy showers of Heavenly grac
To cleanse these wayward souls.
cry to thee, thou mighty friend,
When earthly cares assail-
Justice and mercy sweetly blend
Above the gloomy vale;
Nor time, nor sense, nor life, nor death,
Can thwart thy Sovereign will,
My Father! With my parting breath
III love and praise thee still.

Peter Grob, of Cincinnati, was a
man who knew how to do the right
thing, but not at the right time. He
was a little slow about it. A few days
ago Peter was sitting behind the bar
Of his little doggery, thinking over his
prospects. The people owed him a
living; he was not born to work, like
other men: he was born to steal his
living by retailing Intoxicating drinks
to better men than himself; yet the
people were not coming up to his sup
port with the generosity which was
pleasing to him. Peter resolved to
get even with this cold world. He
took razor in his hand, and stood up
before mirror, so that he might wit
ness the scene in all its beauty, then
slashed his throat, severing the wind
pipe, and ending all of Peters troub-
les-in this world. This thing GER
tainly oughtto become popular among
fellows in the doggery business.

We have had no better monthly report than
this for years. and it is the wish of the teachers
that the same punctuality and good attendance
may characterize the remaining months of the
year. Parents can be of great help to us in both
these respects. Let nothing but necessity keep
your children from school. We can do nothing
for them if they are not with u.s. Some stay
out half a day to go to the store, lot stones
throw from home. Others are permitted to
stay away from home to witness game of base
ball. This is a condition of affairs that should
not exist. Keep the boys and girls in school if
you would have them learn

This is the mule that Downey of the

IL seems that even in Kansas, with
all the Temperance sentiment prevail
ing there, the ever-ready petition is
effective in defeating the ends of the
law. 1t will be remembered that a
short time ago we mentioned the case
of young drug clerk at Wichita, in
that State who had been fined 500, 800
dollars. and sentenced to seventeen
years in the Penitentiary, for selling
liquors in violation Of law. Word
now comes that the term of imprison-
ment has been reduced to six months,
and we have not heard how much of
the ine has been remitted. For our
own part, we would prefer to see the
young man serve out the entire sem
tence, and and all wo persist in the
awful traffic likewise, but it seems
that even in grand, progressive Kan
sas, the firmness of mankind relaxes,
and moral influences suffer thereby.

tions paid dividends amounting TO $23, 1856 708;
for the year 1885 ten corporation paid dividends
amounting to 800 It's 81, or a decrease from 1884
of So 56l.397. For the year 1886 eleven corpor-
atoms paid dividends amounting to 49, $50. GA,
decrease from 1884 of $4. 255, 1914. This
shows decrease of net income on increased

that for the year 1856 the gross earnings de-
creased from the previous year ST.. 283, Glib. and
the total tons of freight carried in Illinois de-
